MUSHAWARAT CONDEMNS MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS IN PAKISTAN

THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR TERRORISM BY CHRISTIANS AGAINST MUSLIMS OR VICE-VERSA

New Delhi, 29 October, 2001: Mr Syed Shahabuddin, President of the All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat (AIMMM), has issued the following Statement:

"The All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat (AIMMM) condemns the cold-blooded massacre of 18 Christians in Bahawalpur during Church service on 28 October, 2001 as brutal, anti-human and anti-Islamic.
The Mushawarat expresses its deep sympathy for the aggrieved families, and calls upon the Government of Pakistan not only to identify and punish the culprits but to assure security for the Christians living in Pakistan.
The AIMMM also takes the opportunity to remind the Muslim militants in Pakistan that the US attack on Afghanistan does not amount to a general war between Christians and Muslims and that millions of followers of the two religious live peacefully with each other in hundreds of States and there is no legal or moral justification for such act of terrorism against helpless and innocent people by one religious community against another." q
